ELDs - Help please!

As long as the driver obeys the Hours of Service, then elogs won't matter..

 

I will be honest, I have always rounded favorably to me seven and 1/2 minutes is enough to get to a safe place to park, and not be in violation. If 66 is 65, then 10:03 is ten o'clock. That, the high price I do not need to pay now and 4th amendment violation is why I have no interest in them.

 

I'll make this short and sweet for you. The more your drivers are relying on fudging their books, the more the elogs are going to hurt. If they're backing their books up just a tad every now and then, you can make it work, but if they're going full cowboy, you're going to feel it in a big way. It's really as simple as that.

 

I was leased on at a place where the lp drivers had to run elogs. This guy was jealous. He told me that he'd run so many more loads that way. I told him those days were long over for me. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes here or there, but I made it up in the morning. I don't think elogs will stop those guys who drive 40 hours in 2 days, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

It will stop them. There won't be any way to break the rules now, unless you have the old trucks, and even then they're going to be looking at those guys hard. I've been on elogs for 4 years now. You can shave a few minutes here and there fueling or doing yard moves, but the days of running way over 11 hours driving are about to end.

 

When I ran a truck that had elogs, I never had my logs checked. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I see some officers, if not most seeing "electronic logs" on the side of the truck, and won't bother checking.

Those guy will have to run newer equipment. They didn't make white Volvo in 1999!

 

California likes checking them...and if it's quallcom e log it has a flashing red button when over hours

 

Well California is a different story. When I had prepass I bypassed most scales. I had to go over every scale there. I didn't realize what a miserable place for the trucking industry that place is until I moved out! Hard to believe a state that had a Republican governor and senator at the same time swung so one sided in politics.

 

Researcher? Then why are more than half the questions in connection to brokers. Specifically CH Robinson?
Take your survey back to your boss and tell him you don't and know one knows exactly what will play out.
